That didn’t take long.
Dylan Strome scored his first goal for the Blackhawks in his first game in the Indian sweater Tuesday against the Golden Knights at the United Center.

For Strome, it’s his fourth goal of the season in 21 games to match his total last season with the Coyotes. He had four goals and nine points in the same number of games during the 2017-18 campaign.
Chicago acquired Strome and Brendan Perlini in exchange for forward Nick Schmaltz on Sunday night, in a trade involving three former first-round draft picks. Strome was selected the highest at No. 3 overall in 2015.
The trade reunites Strome with Alex DeBrincat, with whom he played with the Erie Otters in the OHL for three seasons. Strome had 22 goals and 53 assists, and DeBrincat finished with 65 goals and 62 assists during their final OHL season together, in 2016-17.
